Sitting it out: John Terry missed England's friendly defeat to Brazil

John Terry in race to be fit for Wolves clash

Chelsea will discover today if captain John Terry faces a spell on the sidelines with the ankle injury he sustained while away on international duty with England.

Terry, who missed the friendly with Brazil, has admitted he hopes to be fit to face Wolves on Saturday, but his ankle will be given a thorough medical examination at the club's training ground for a more accurate diagnosis.

Carlo Ancelotti's team are already without midfielder Frank Lampard due to a thigh problem and there are still concerns over Didier Drogba amid fresh reports that he has broken a rib, although the club are unaware of such a development.

Meanwhile, Argentina coach Diego Maradona believes Sergio Aguero should join Chelsea if Atletico Madrid can't build a squad to challenge for major trophies.

Chelsea have made Aguero one of their main targets to buy in the January transfer window and are planning to make a £35million bid.

Atletico are currently struggling near the bottom of La Liga and have already been knocked out of the Champions League having failed to impress in Chelsea's group.

Maradona, who is also Aguero's father-in-law, feels the striker needs to leave the Spanish club for the good of his career.

He said: "To make the best of Aguero's qualities they [Atletico] must create a team worthy of him and sign some players. Otherwise, they must let him go and not harm his development as a player"
